C5 Corvette Interior Upgrades - Cover Me Up

For photography purposes, we're concentrating on the passenger side of the car. With the old carpet and the top part of the forward console bezel removed, Matt first prefits the passenger-side front carpet.

Cut the carpet for the passenger front air vent located on the side of the transmission tunnel.

Here's an up-close view of the passenger front air vent.

Locate the correct position to cut for the passenger front-seat-control wire opening.

Cut the passenger front seat control wire opening into a T-shape.

Use Velcro to attach the passenger front carpet onto the emergency-brake boot. Note that the forward console bezel and rear console have been removed.

Prior to starting this install, the fuse-block cover located in the passenger front floorboard was removed. Matt reattaches the cover after the carpet is positioned around the fuse block.

Reinstall the forward console bezel.

Carefully position the forward console bezel.

Connect the wiring harness to the auxiliary power source.

Snap in the forward console bezel.

Remove the positioning keeper located inside the shifter knob.

Unscrew the shifter knob from the shifter shaft.

Replace the shifter boot in the forward console bezel.

Matt prepares to reinstall the rear-console plastic.

Reconnect power to the controls in the rear-console plastic.

Secure the rear-console plastic with 10mm nuts.

Reconnect the power source to the traction-control button.

Reinstall the screws in the forward console bezel.

Reinstall the positioning keeper in the shifter knob.

Lightly tap the shifter-positioning keeper into place.

Matt reinstalls our newly covered console cushion.

Replace the nut covers in the rear console plastic.

Final touches are made to the console cushion. Job done.

Doesn't the new console cushion cover look cool? Now we can repeat the procedure for the driver side, and the front carpet will be in.
